grown. Tho most experienced wheat
growers of this country have long
been convinced that our varieties are
better than our culture. and that our
farmers need better preparation OF the
soil rather than new varieties Of wheat
Every farmer can greatly improve
the variety he Is growing, by
giving proper attention to his
seed. Let him devote patch or a
part of field to raising seed. This
should have special fertilizing. and
the seed should be in rows far enough
apart to allow Of cultivating between
them. Thin tho plants in the rows so
as to give each one abundant room,
and pull out all inferior and badly de-
veloped plants. Before harvesting
60 through and remove all that have
short and poor ears. Thrash this
wheat by itself. and in winnowing
tako pains to blow the light grains
away from tho heavier ones. BY fol-
lowing this course for several years.

That wood ashes are a valuable fer

yinced that few fruit growers place

highly probable that the results from
their application would not be so
marked on all soil. My land Is nat

tain no nitrogen, but they contain all
the elements Of plant food ex-
